This thought-provoking work by Pierre Dansereau, a pioneering Canadian ecologist and environmentalist, explores the pressing challenges facing urban centers in the 1970s. Published amidst growing concerns over pollution, overcrowding, and resource depletion, “Challenge for Survival” examines the complex interplay between human populations and the natural environment. Dansereau’s interdisciplinary approach, drawing from ecology, urban planning, and social sciences, offers a comprehensive analysis of the “megalopolis” phenomenon and its impact on land, air, and water resources. This volume stands as a testament to the early recognition of environmental issues and the urgent need for sustainable urban development. Collectors and readers interested in the history of environmentalism, urban studies, and the intellectual discourse of the 1970s will find this book a valuable addition to their libraries.
